- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

Directions
Step 1
Wash and pat dry the zucchini and mushrooms. Slice the zucchini into thin rounds and quarter the mushrooms.
Step 2
Peel and finely dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Step 5
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the sliced zucchini and quartered mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 7–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned.
Step 7
Season the vegetables with salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and dried Italian seasoning. Stir well to evenly coat the zucchini and mushrooms.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the vegetables, if using. Let the cheese melt slightly.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
